More specifically, The present invention relates to a liquid composition for electronic cigarette comprising a fermented concentrate obtained by fermenting a liquid concentrate prepared by mixing and concentrating a liquid fermented with a fermentation broth, vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol. In particular, the present invention relates to a liquid composition for electronic cigarette comprising terahertz The present invention relates to a liquid composition for electronic cigarettes capable of emitting waves.

Tobacco smoke is estimated to contain as many as 4000 toxic chemicals, and when the cigarette burns, its central temperature reaches 900 ° C. At such a high temperature, the organic matter Various kinds of chemical substances are produced through such processes as pyrolysis, thermal synthesis, distillation, sublimation, hydrogenation, oxidation and dehydration.

The most harmful substances that occur during smoking are tar, carbon monoxide (CO) and nicotine, which are harmful substances. Batar is a toxic substance that enters the lungs and penetrates into the blood, damaging all the cells of our body and all organs. It also acts directly on the gums and bronchi, destroying epidermal cells, or causing chronic inflammation.

Tar, commonly referred to as 'tobacco', is a source of most hazardous substances that smoking harms our health. It contains about 2,000 kinds of toxic chemicals in tar as toxic substances and carcinogens, of which about 20 It contains a variety of Class A carcinogens and the tar itself is also toxic.

The unique taste of cigarettes comes from this tar. Tar enters the lungs through tobacco smoke and permeates into the blood, damaging all cells of our body, all organs, acting directly on the gums and bronchi, It can destroy or cause chronic inflammation. Carbon monoxide causes the oxygen transport ability of the blood to be lowered and causes chronic hypoxia, which causes the metabolism to be disturbed and premature aging.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an anthracite smell, which is already known to us. Smoking is like taking on a small amount of anthracite smell. Continuous carbon monoxide aspiration decreases the ability of the blood to carry oxygen, causing chronic hypoxia The cause of premature aging is caused by obstructing the metabolism, and it is the carbon monoxide which is the main cause of the head aches and the mind being dull in the room full of the cigarette smoke or the smoke full of the cigarette for a long time.

Carbon monoxide is not symptomatic at low concentrations, but when the concentration is high, it causes memory loss, dyspnea, vomiting, and more than 60% leads to death. Nicotine is a narcotic substance that causes addictive addiction to tobacco. In the case of humans, lethal dose is 40mg, but a small amount of nicotine acts on the nervous system to excite the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves to obtain pleasure, and a large amount of nicotine causes paralysis of the nerves.

In addition, nicotine has an arousal effect that temporarily improves creativity when writing or working. It also temporarily calms when excited, but nicotine shrinks peripheral blood vessels, speeds up the pulse, increases blood pressure, increases cholesterol, This is why smoking cigarettes cause heart disease, Burgers' disease, and statues because it makes them worse.

In particular, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-1983-0009742 discloses a smoking cessation aid composition in which cigarette flavor or smoke is generated in the same manner as smoking cessation without containing the harmful component of the cigarette as described above, A composition for a cigarette substitute which can be used as a smoking substitute so as to be able to inhale or absorb a tobacco flavor composed of a carbohydrate, a glycine, a glycerin, an ethanol, a cinnamon oil and the like, and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0097069 discloses a composition The composition which is composed of vinegar solution, ethanol, liquid nicotine extracted from plants, licorice extract, green tea extract, etc. has no harmful effect of secondhand smoke because there is no smoke generation and safe from various kinds of respiratory diseases caused by carcinogenic substances and toxic chemicals Discloses a composition of volatile liquid tobacco nicotine, It is composed of propylene glycol, glycerin, ethanol, cigarette essence which does not contain harmful tar and nicotine, and liquid substance cartridge such as antioxidant to help healthy life of smoker, and smoking of smoker A smoking cessation assistant electronic smoking machine which has an effect of satisfying habits and enhancing a smoking cessation success rate and the like are disclosed.

The structure and principle of the electronic smoking appliance, which functions to incorporate the liquid composition for smoking cessation as described above into an electronic smoking appliance to obtain the effect of generating smoke upon inhalation, is disclosed in detail in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0860566 Therefore, a description thereof will be omitted.

However, when the liquid composition is provided with a vinegar liquid when the liquid composition for smoking cessation aids conventionally provided in the electronic smoking apparatus is injected and used, the process of sucking the electronic smoking apparatus or repeating the inhalation action is repeated, The problem of leaving behind the aftertaste shows a problem that freshness can not be maintained in the mouth and the respiratory system if the user does not brush the teeth after use of the electronic smoking appliance.

In addition, when ethanol is contained in the liquid composition for smoking cessation aid, since the boiling point of ethanol is 78.4 ° C, the liquid composition gradually vaporizes in the air to increase the viscosity of the liquid composition for smoking cessation aid and gradually solidify. There is a problem that the smoke generation effect is remarkably reduced even though it remains.

In addition, the ethanol contained in the liquid composition of the smoking cessation aid is generally recognized to be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water when oxidized. However, it is decomposed into carbon dioxide and water through acetaldehyde, which is an intermediate substance in the stage before completely oxidizing, As is evident from the fact that acetaldehyde is the causative agent of post-drinking headache and hangover, the liquid composition of the smoking cessation aid containing ethanol can exclude the possibility of generating acetaldehyde by instant heating when using an electronic smoking apparatus and inhaling it There is no problem.

Therefore, the liquid composition containing no vinegar solution or ethanol in the liquid composition for smoking cessation aids is embedded in an electronic smoking appliance and the effect of generating smoke until the liquid composition is completely exhausted during inhalation is low, and the autonomic nervous system such as anxiety and depression improvement It is required to continuously research and develop a stabilizing effect.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1983-0009742 (December 23, 1983) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0097069 (September 15, 2009) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2010-0008811 (2010.01.27.) Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0860566 (September 22, 2008)
